The bus schedules were unclear and it made several stops without warning. We were not able to make the complete tour. The bus was not air conditioned and the heat was unbearable for the children.

The bus drove once around the city center and that was all. All points are within walking distance and the experience is much nicer and more interesting. We could have saved ourselves the €40.
